Negotiations with the employer for a new collective agreement started on the week of October 20-24, 2025 and continued virtually on November 17 and 19, 2025.

Some progress was made as the parties were able to negotiate improvements related to standby, language bonus, family abuse leave, professional development and others.

However, the Union and Employer were unable to reach an agreement due to differences in wages and allowances proposed related to: 

• Allowances
• Economic increases in parity with the GN
• Removal of concessions

 

The parties will meet again on December 2 and 3, 2025. We will keep you posted at every stage of this process.

The Bargaining Team will continue to fight against concessions and is committed to coming back to you with a fair and improved tentative agreement.
